Default NASCAR Wheels/Rims on an Fbody?

I've always liked the look of the NASCAR style rims on trucks and I am curious as to how they would look on an Fbody. If anyone knows of a manufacturer that makes the NASCAR sytle rims for our cars in eithe a 16" or 17" X 9 or that might have a pictures of them installed on their car it would be much appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.

You mean kind of like this? These are my Winter wheels. I don't like the appearance of them at all, but they held the Winter tires well!

I think he means something more like this:

This is a truck wheel and doesnt look exactly like a NASCAR wheel, but you get the idea.

You often see them on taxis in white.

VIP1 was very close, i've seen the american racing rims that are similar. Bart makes the stock car or nascar style rims but only in a 15" size and the 15's won't fit over the stock front caliper. The 15" convo pro's I have on the back barely clear the calipers. Here's a a pictures of a genuin stock car nascar style wheel. Thought someone might know if any other wheel manufacturer makes anything similar in a 16".

I had some "polished" 15x18 nascar style rims, they worked good for my N/A setup for a bit, F*CKING UGLY though
